There is justification for being excited about seeing the very unique Hummingbird. They are found only in North or South America. They beat their wings thousands of times per minute, averaging about 50 times per second. They fly like no other bird. They hover over their food instead of landing. They can fly forward, backward, and upside down. Spanish explorers nicknamed them "flying jewels."
This was probably my favorite of the shots I took of the Mongoose while I was on the "Big Island". My son and myself stayed at the Waikoloa Hilton. The place is huge. It covers 63 acres. It was a one mile walk from our room to the car park. Stacy, has an app on his iPhone that was tracking us where ever we went. We averaged 8-10 miles of walking a day. I know one day it was well over 12 miles. Always, had my camera with me. Like a barbell! ;-) Weighs 8 pounds! Gave me a good workout. We did several trips to Hilo. Stacy did a lot of snorkeling. After seeing the pictures Stacy posted on FaceBook, my oldest son Scott, booked 8 days there next April for him and his family and Jan is looking going there next spring.
I think there are more flowers in April/May. But, I still found lots to take pictures of.
Mongoose move like greased lighting and often run when you are still 75-100 feet away. But, I had learned a lot on my April trip and it made it a little easier getting some shots this trip. They forage for grubs in the lawns. The lawns there are very thick & plush. Feels like you are walking on very thick carpet.
Lots of Sea Turtles in the lagoon there. I saw 8 in one morning.

Jupiter on September 11th. Transparency was above average with little to no wildfire smoke in the sky. Seeing started out around average, but got a but better as the night went on. For Jupiter you can see Oval BA with it's slightly yellow/orange tinge to the lower left and several white ovals lining up to the right of it.

(To continue the series of strange sea animals)
Another strange creature in the lagoon. Once again I did not have the camera with me so went back to get it. On the way back to the place where I had seen it, I met an amateur fishermen. We exchanged hello's, I asked how the fishing was going and he asked what I was going to do with the camera. The conversation then went something like this.
I'm going to take a photo of something in the sea
A fish?
No, not a fish. More like a snail than anything else.
A hermit crab?
No, not a crab. It is hard to describe - the closest I can think of is a snail.
Is it edible?
No. It's a bit of an odd looking thing. Not at all pretty. But it is laying a ribbon of eggs and I haven't seen one doing that before.
But won't it have gone by now?
No; it moves very slowly so it won't have gone far.
Can I come too?
So we both went and looked at this seaslug which has a shell on top of its body which is encrusted with animals and plants and looked like sand. The animal itself looks a bit like a mixed up fried egg with warts ( mixed up as in the yellow is where the white should be and vice versa). It feeds on sponges.
The fisherman said he was pleased he had come along,
Twenty four hours later the animal had barely moved 15 cm and a few pieces of the egg ribbon were still visible,
Later I read that the ribbon is typically 1 metre long and 22mm wide. In one specimen there were 46000 egg capsules per cm square of ribbon containing an average of 37 eggs in each egg capsule, giving a total of something like 45 million eggs. The egg capsules are visible in the photo but I didn't notice them when I was looking at the animal.
The egg ribbon here was the same colour as the sand but this colour is variable and may depend on the colouring of the sponges in the diet.
In the comment box below another photo of the same species taken a few years ago.
Brown, Green, Orange, Pink, and Purple Line Express trains serve downtown Chicago via the Loop elevated. The Loop's eight stations average 72,843 weekday boardings. The Orange Line, Purple Line and the Pink Line run clockwise, the Brown Line runs counter-clockwise. The Green Line is the Loop's only through service; the other four lines circle the Loop and return to their starting points.
Spotted this Fellow eyeing me at a local park. I could sense he was looking for a handout, and I wanted to give him a treat; but there are signs in the park stating, “do not feed the wildlife.” So, I gave him a nod and we went our separate ways.

California ground squirrels live in burrows which they excavate themselves. Some burrows are occupied communally but each individual squirrel has its own entrance. Although they readily become tame in areas used by humans, and quickly learn to take food left or offered by picnickers, they spend most of their time within 25 m (82 ft.) of their burrow, and rarely go further than 50 m (160 ft.) from it.
In the colder parts of their range, California ground squirrels hibernate for several months, but in areas where winters have no snow, most squirrels are active year-round.
California ground squirrels are often regarded as a pest in gardens and parks, since they will eat ornamental plants and trees. They commonly feed on seeds, such as oats, but also eat insects such as crickets and grasshoppers as well as various fruits.
California ground squirrels are frequently preyed on by rattlesnakes. They are also preyed on by eagles, raccoons, foxes, badgers, and weasels.
The average lifespan for the California ground squirrel is 3 to 4 years in the wild, but they can live as long as 6 years. In captivity, the average lifespan for the ground squirrel is 10 years.

This was the first time I had seen Beehive Geyser in action. From the national forest service, "Beehive Geyser is a favorite performer in this geyser basin, but is irregular. When active, it typically erupts once or twice daily and lasts 4-5 minutes. The narrow cone acts like a nozzle, projecting a powerful water column to a height of 150-200 feet (46-61 m). Beehive Geyser has an average temperate of 198.5°F (92.5°C) and an average pH of 8.3." Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA, June 2024

I follow Cryptid a bit, until he led me to a small campfire with two other soldiers sitting around it. he led me over to the one on the north side of the fire, and introduced me. "This is Mackenzie, but we call him 'Klip.' I shook his hand, and told him my name. I told him a bit about myself, being overwatch and all. Then, out of the blue, the other soldier piped up, rather resentfully, "What are you, some damned super-soldier? The perfect sniper, eh?"
A haunted look must have come to my eyes; I could see it reflected in the gaze of the kid, Klip. "No, I'm not perfect, or even close," I responded. Klip softly asked me to continue. So, I did.
"I wasn't that much of an excellent shot, up through a few years ago. I was still fresh meat then, near the beginnings of the war. I was responsible for covering my unit in a rather ugly section of a city. Twenty-three men had their lives depending on me to keep them covered, and to give them warning of any attacks. I stopped looking for a brief moment, and by the time I looked back, the screams had begun. The Urags had been laying in wait, for a hapless unit of Earthlings to slaughter. Twenty three men, who died because of my carelessness. I should have seen the signs, should have warned them. Ever since then, I have dedicated myself to being the best sniper I could be. Many of my exploits are exaggerated, but I can run and gun along with the rest of them."
The group had gone quiet for my tale. There were several moments of tense silence, until the offending soldier whispered, "I'm sorry. I had no idea."
I took it in silence. It hurt, hurt badly that these soldiers can look upon their own allies with resentment, could judge without knowledge. I needed to get out of where I was, needed a change of scenery. So, through some cosmic flip of a coin, a coin scarred and malformed through eons of abuse, I decided to go out on a limb and ask these men whom I did not know, did not know other than the wind in their step and the fire of their guns, to hold my future in their response. "I could join your team, if you'd have me. Sniping isn't all I'm good at."

The whitethroat is a medium-sized, long-tailed warbler of grassland, scrub and hedgerows. It is a summer visitor and passage migrant, breeding in many areas, but avoiding urban and mountainous places. Males whitethroats build nests out of twigs and roots and the females then decide which to take. whitethroats winter in Africa, leaving our shores in early October and heading as far as South Africa.

America Black Bear of North Carolina
There are three species of bears in North America—the Polar Bear, Brown Bear (Grizzly), and Black Bear. The Black Bear is the only species found in North Carolina or anywhere in the eastern United States and is an important part of our cultural, historical and natural heritage.
In North Carolina, the Black Bear is usually black with a brown muzzle and sometimes a white patch on its chest. Bears have five toes on each foot, with sharp curved claws that help them climb trees and feed on insects and grubs in decaying logs. Black Bears rely mostly on their sense of smell and hearing due to their average (similar to humans’) eyesight, but are adept at climbing, running, swimming and digging. They can run as fast as 35 miles per hour!
Before Europeans came to the New World, Black Bears lived in all forested regions of North America and were abundant in North Carolina. However, Black Bears were often killed by early settlers to protect their families, crops and livestock. In time, bears across the state were also impacted by habitat loss from agricultural development and clear-cutting. By the mid-1900s, bears were only found in the most remote mountains and coastal swamps of our state. Then in the 1920s, the American chestnut blight (a tree-killing fungus) hit the Mountain Region, destroying the most important nut-producing tree for bears. As a result, bear populations suffered.
However, thanks to science-based management and bear sanctuaries, Black Bears have made a remarkable recovery in population and range. Black Bear expansion has occurred naturally as bears have moved into suitable habitats. As of 2012, there were approximately 17,000 bears in the state, occupying 61% of the state’s total land area.

Yosemite National Park is a United States national park lying in the western Sierra Nevada of Northern California. The park covers an area of 747,956 acres (1,168.681 sq mi; 302,687 ha; 3,026.87 km2) Designated a World Heritage Site in 1984, Yosemite is internationally recognized for its granite cliffs, waterfalls, clear streams, giant sequoia groves, lakes, mountains, glaciers, and biological diversity. Almost 95% of the park is designated wilderness.
On average, about 4 million people visit Yosemite each year, and most spend the majority of their time in the 5.9 square miles (15 km2) of Yosemite Valley. The park set a visitation record in 2016, surpassing 5 million visitors for the first time in its history.
Yosemite is one of the largest and least fragmented habitat blocks in the Sierra Nevada, and the park supports a diversity of plants and animals. The park has an elevation range from 2,127 to 13,114 feet (648 to 3,997 m) and contains five major vegetation zones: chaparral and oak woodland, lower montane forest, upper montane forest, subalpine zone, and alpine. Of California's 7,000 plant species, about 50% occur in the Sierra Nevada and more than 20% within Yosemite. There is suitable habitat for more than 160 rare plants in the park, with rare local geologic formations and unique soils characterizing the restricted ranges many of these plants occupy.
The geology of the Yosemite area is characterized by granitic rocks and remnants of older rock. About 10 million years ago, the Sierra Nevada was uplifted and then tilted to form its relatively gentle western slopes and the more dramatic eastern slopes. The uplift increased the steepness of stream and river beds, resulting in formation of deep, narrow canyons. About one million years ago, snow and ice accumulated, forming glaciers at the higher alpine meadows that moved down the river valleys. Ice thickness in Yosemite Valley may have reached 4,000 feet (1,200 m) during the early glacial episode. The downslope movement of the ice masses cut and sculpted the U-shaped valley that attracts so many visitors to its scenic vistas today.
The name "Yosemite" (meaning "killer" in Miwok) originally referred to the name of a renegade tribe which was driven out of the area (and possibly annihilated) by the Mariposa Battalion. Before then the area was called "Ahwahnee" ("big mouth") by indigenous people [Wikipedia.org]

The average lifespan of a Meadow Pipit falls between 1 and 5 years, with most living around 3 years. However, it’s worth noting that an individual has lived past 7 years and 9 months. This lifespan is often affected by predation from birds like Hen Harriers and Merlins, along with the environmental conditions they face. (BinocularBase).

I don't always do a fancy photos for my blog posts, check out my blog to catch cute outfits I post only on Nobody does it like Karalee. Also for everyone fancy photo I edit I do animated gifs on my blog to show the outfit as it would be seen inworld, I know heavily edited photos can be deceiving :P
Bogotà si trova ad una altezza di 2640 mt. ma è molto vicina all'equatore. Il clima della fascia equatoriale presenta temperature medie alte e stabili tutto l'anno , (non esiste un grosso scarto tra temperature minima e massima), umidità relativa media molto forte, con piogge (spesso acquazzoni-temporali) giornaliere. Man a mano che ci si allontana dall'equatore le piogge sono meno frequenti.
Per questo motivo scenari come quelli della foto sono frequentissimi e pian piano ci si abitua a questi scrosci frequenti ,ma con temperature abbastanza piacevoli.
Bogota is located at a height of 2640 mt. but it is very close to the equator . The climate has average temperatures of the equatorial high and stable throughout the year, (there is no a big difference between minimum and maximum temperatures ) , average relative humidity is very strong, with rains (often downpours - time ) everyday . Man hand that you move away from the equator rains are less frequent.
For this reason, scenarios like those in the photo are frequent and gradually you get used to these frequent showers , but temperatures are quite pleasant .

These women do not exist. They each are a composite of about 30 faces that I created to find out the current standard of good looks on the Internet.
On the popular Hot or Not web site, people rate others’ attractiveness on a scale of 1 to 10. An average score based on hundreds or even thousands of individual ratings takes only a few days to emerge.
I collected some photos from the site, sorted them by rank and used SquirlzMorph to create multi-morph composites from them. Unlike projects like Face of Tomorrow or Beauty Check where the subjects are posed for the purpose, the portraits are blurry because the source images are low resolution with differences in posture, hair styles, glasses, etc, so that I could use only 36 control points for the morphs.
What did I conclude about good looks from these virtual faces? First, morphs tend to be prettier than their sources because face asymmetries and skin blemishes average out. However, the low score images show that fat is not attractive. The high scores tend to have narrow faces. I will leave it to you to find more differences and to do a similar project for men.

Part of sculpture "Mean Average" by Tony Cragg. From the guide booklet: "In Mean Average, made of fibre-glass, the separate details rise from the stillness - gigantic, heavy, yet in motion. The shapes billow like wind-driven sand, like mountains slowly formed by time. Pillar-like volumes sweep upwards. In their surfaces we glimpse human faces. Warped profiles that appear, only to disintegrate and vanish."
In summer 2026, a generous selection of eleven sculptures by the British/German artist Tony Cragg can be seen at Pilane Sculpture Park. The rich and unpredictable quality of Tony Cragg's aesthetic ideas is as astounding as the diversity of nature itself. And nature has been a constant source of inspiration for Cragg, who as a boy spend memorable years on his grandfather's farm in southern England. The organic and the geometrical merge seamlessly in his evocative works.
When the British newspaper The Guardian appointed "10 of the best scupture parks in Europe", Pilane was one of them.

R707, R761 and R711 make light work of the Great Dividing Range as they approach Heathcote Junction as 8395 to Seymour.
This impressive display of steam was part of the 2nd celebratory tour for the 30 Years of Mainline running of R707 with 707 Operations since the completion of its restoration in 1985.
R707 was restored as part of "Plan R", beginning on the 11th of July 1980 and finishing a little over 5 years later on the 20th of July 1985.
Today R707 is still in operation with 707 Operations, running an average of 3 tours per year, whilst R711 and R761 see more frequent use with Steamrail Victoria.

On average cheetahs have three to four cubs. Sometimes they have a litter of eight. Endangered population, however, have a staggering high rate of cub mortality, with just 5% making it to adulthood. Predation accounts for much of this, particularly that of lions, as well as hyenas. It is perhaps any wonder mothers keep a close lookout!
Thank you for your comments, much appreciated! 👍
Average red-bellied trogon of subtropical forests. Male is iridescent green on breast, head, and back; female is brown. Namesake dark mask is usually obvious, especially on females. Nearly identical to Collared Trogon but very little overlap; Masked is almost always found at higher elevations. Where both are possible, look especially at tail pattern on males: large white tips on underside of tail feathers, otherwise dark with very fine white barring. On females, look for evenly barred undertail with large white tips combined with contrasting black face. Usually found singly or in pairs, perched quietly from the understory to the subcanopy.
This female was photographed in Ecuador guided by Neotropic Photo Tours.
This is one of the coldest places in the Yukon, with an average monthly temperature of nearly -10°C year-round. During the dark days of January, the nearby Ogilvie maintenance camp has recorded a monthly average as low as -42°C. With any encroaching warmer air blocked by the surrounding mountains, dense, very cold, dry air may settle here for weeks at a time. The lowest temperature recorded at Ogilvie camp was -47.8°C in January, 1985 (records kept since 1971).

She is official full term now but can still benefit from extra days in the womb.
Your baby continues to practice breathing movements. Isn't it amazing how she can breathe "under water?"
Grasp is firm now. It won't be long until you'll feel that strong little fist confidently grasping your finger (or tightly clenching your hair)!
A few weeks ago, your baby would move her eyes toward light. Now she turns towards light outside the uterus.
As the uterine wall stretches and thins allowing more light to permeate, she develops definite daily activity cycles. You will want to be sure to establish good patterns yourself at this time, thus encouraging them in your child. Ever heard of a baby getting her days/nights mixed up? Now's the time to try to avoid that!
